Bitcoin Core 27.0 Released

(1/1)

achow101: 27.0 Release Notes Bitcoin Core version 27.0 is now available from: https://bitcoincore.org/bin/bitcoin-core-27.0/ This release includes new features, various bug fixes and performance improvements, as well as updated translations. Please report bugs using the issue tracker at GitHub: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues To receive security and update notifications, please subscribe to: https://bitcoincore.org/en/list/announcements/join/ How to Upgrade If you are running an older version, shut it down. Wait until it has completely shut down (which might take a few minutes in some cases), then run the installer (on Windows) or just copy over /Applications/Bitcoin-Qt (on macOS) or bitcoind/bitcoin-qt (on Linux). Upgrading directly from a version of Bitcoin Core that has reached its EOL is possible, but it might take some time if the data directory needs to be migrated. Old wallet versions of Bitcoin Core are generally supported. Compatibility Bitcoin Core is supported and extensively tested on operating systems using the Linux Kernel 3.17+, macOS 11.0+, and Windows 7 and newer. Bitcoin Core should also work on most other Unix-like systems but is not as frequently tested on them. It is not recommended to use Bitcoin Core on unsupported systems. Notable changes libbitcoinconsensus libbitcoinconsensus is deprecated and will be removed for v28. This library has existed for nearly 10 years with very little known uptake or impact. It has become a maintenance burden. The underlying functionality does not change between versions, so any users of the library can continue to use the final release indefinitely, with the understanding that Taproot is its final consensus update. In the future, libbitcoinkernel will provide a much more useful API that is aware of the UTXO set, and therefore be able to fully validate transactions and blocks. (#29189) mempool.dat compatibility The mempool.dat file created by -persistmempool or the savemempool RPC will be written in a new format. This new format includes the XOR'ing of transaction contents to mitigate issues where external programs (such as anti-virus) attempt to interpret and potentially modify the file. This new format can not be read by previous software releases. To allow for a downgrade, a temporary setting -persistmempoolv1 has been added to fall back to the legacy format. (#28207) P2P and network changes BIP324 v2 transport is now enabled by default. It remains possible to disable v2 by running with -v2transport=0. (#29347) Manual connection options (-connect, -addnode and -seednode) will now follow -v2transport to connect with v2 by default. They will retry with v1 on failure. (#29058) Network-adjusted time has been removed from consensus code. It is replaced with (unadjusted) system time. The warning for a large median time offset (70 minutes or more) is kept. This removes the implicit security assumption of requiring an honest majority of outbound peers, and increases the importance of the node operator ensuring their system time is (and stays) correct to not fall out of consensus with the network. (#28956) Mempool Policy Changes Opt-in Topologically Restricted Until Confirmation (TRUC) Transactions policy (aka v3 transaction policy) is available for use on test networks when -acceptnonstdtxn=1 is set. By setting the transaction version number to 3, TRUC transactions request the application of limits on spending of their unconfirmed outputs. These restrictions simplify the assessment of incentive compatibility of accepting or replacing TRUC transactions, thus ensuring any replacements are more profitable for the node and making fee-bumping more reliable. TRUC transactions are currently nonstandard and can only be used on test networks where the standardness rules are relaxed or disabled (e.g. with -acceptnonstdtxn=1). (#28948) External Signing Support for external signing on Windows has been disabled. It will be re-enabled once the underlying dependency (Boost Process), has been replaced with a different library. (#28967) Updated RPCs The addnode RPC now follows the -v2transport option (now on by default, see above) for making connections. It remains possible to specify the transport type manually with the v2transport argument of addnode. (#29239) Build System A C++20 capable compiler is now required to build Bitcoin Core. (#28349)MacOS releases are configured to use the hardened runtime libraries (#29127) Wallet The CoinGrinder coin selection algorithm has been introduced to mitigate unnecessary large input sets and lower transaction costs at high feerates. CoinGrinder searches for the input set with minimal weight. Solutions found by CoinGrinder will produce a change output. CoinGrinder is only active at elevated feerates (default: 30+ sat/vB, based on -consolidatefeerate×3). (#27877)The Branch And Bound coin selection algorithm will be disabled when the subtract fee from outputs feature is used. (#28994)If the birth time of a descriptor is detected to be later than the first transaction involving that descriptor, the birth time will be reset to the earlier time. (#28920) Low-level changes Pruning When pruning during initial block download, more blocks will be pruned at each flush in order to speed up the syncing of such nodes. (#20827) Init Various fixes to prevent issues where subsequent instances of Bitcoin Core would result in deletion of files in use by an existing instance. (#28784, #28946)Improved handling of empty settings.json files.

okae: Ty to everyone who contribute to this update!!! Please, never forget to Verifying Bitcoin Core before you install/use it, is a good practice... also go to the source and check those SHA256SUMS by yourselft.

satscraper: I have tested v.27.0 on a few machines running either Linux or Windows 10/11 and got the feeling that updated nodes halt  (when needed) all operations a bit faster than when they were armored with previous v. 26.0 Anyone can confirm this observation or it is solely my impression?

SAHASAN: What about Apple iOS is it able to mine and others work smoothly with apply IOS system? I want to try it with apple ios system.

khalidkhan82118: Wow, version 27.0 of Bitcoin Core seems packed with updates! I'm particularly intrigued by the introduction of CoinGrinder for coin selection. I wonder how much this will impact transaction costs and overall efficiency. Also, the move towards a C++20 compiler requirement is interesting. I'm curious about the implications for developers and the ecosystem as a whole. Any insights or thoughts on these changes?
